Tokyo Times

Wherever in the world you spend it. And whoever you spend it with. I hope you have a thoroughly wonderful time.

Merry Christmas!

The work of French urban artist, Invader, has featured on Tokyo Times before, and several of his signature mosaics can be seen here.

At that time, however, I thought I’d found all the ones I could, as some had been painted over, whereas others simply didn’t exist anymore. Tokyo’s seemingly ever-changing landscape arguably making such forms of art even more fleeting than they normally are.

Then recently I stumbled upon this. A piece that bares all the Frenchman’s hallmarks, except perhaps his most identifiable: it’s not an invader.

An aspect that inevitably makes me doubt its authenticity, although that doesn’t in any way detract from the fun of finding it.
